QUOTE(mystvearn @ Oct 14 2016, 06:23 PM) I noticed that the stainless steel tank always has a bigger capacity compared to the fiberglass or polytank. Which is better between the two? In terms of longevity and maintenance. Actually is depend on which area you placing it, direct on sun SS will be much longer lasting... if located on a shelter-in-place polytank will be as good as stainless steel tank.

As it lower and wider and I can jump in to clean. It is also very light compare to SS. Nowaday SS material not sure is from China or local. Ok, true asked some dealers before they mentioned Taiwan/China and local made. Only difference are on quality material.
